IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 118,664, dated August29, 1871.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES M. YEAGER, of Lanesville, in the county ofHarrison and in the State of Indiana, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Ghurns; and do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying dra-win g and to the letters of reference markedthereon making a part of this speciiication.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a churn, as will be hereil'lafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which-Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical, and Fig. 2 a transverse verticalsection of my churn. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a portion of thecream-box.

A represents the frame-work within which the cream-box B is suspendedand moves. This box is rectangular in shape, of any desired dimensions,and supported upon two bent rods, a a, which are suspended on top of theframe A. The two rods a a are nearer together at the bottom than at thetop, which gives the box two distinct motions. Besides moving back andforth as a pendulum, one end of the box is rising while the other isfalling, which causes the cream to be thrown much harder against thebreakers in the box than it would be were the rods straight down. To oneof the rods a is fastened apitman, C, the other end of which connectswith a crank-shaft, D. Upon one end of this sha-ft is a cog-wheel, E,gearing with a similar wheel, G, turned by a crank, H, whereby the boxis operated. I I are two breakers placed crosswise, at suitable distanceapart, in the box B. These breakers are composed of vertical slats b bconnecting hor izontal bars d (l. The slats b b do not stand squareacross the bars d d, but stand quarterin g, as shown, and the breakeritself stands square with the box, and they are placed in V-shapedgrooves in the side of the box, so that they can be readily removed orinserted at will.

Havi] 1g thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

rIhe cream-box B, suspended upon two swinging rods, a a, which arecloser together at the bottom than at the top, whereby the box obtains atwofold motion, back and forth, and one end rising while the other isfalling, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this15th day of June, 1871.
